Industry Trends to Watch in 2026

Market volatility and geopolitical discord have complicated the environment in which companies operate. But whether companies are looking to fuel growth, considering strategic consolidation or finance new opportunities, the experts at Gordon Brothers are ready to partner with companies to unlock asset value. Looking at the year ahead, our experts identify four key trends for growth:

1. What Increased Competition in the Private Credit Space Means for ABL

Competition in ABL, and private credit more broadly, is not expected to abate any time soon. So how can leading firms differentiate themselves in an increasingly crowded market?

2. How Intangible Assets Can Drive Value

Strong brands can be stifled by overproduction and outdated business models. But an asset-light operating model may hold the key to successful revitalization and future growth.

3. The Rise of AI and the Need for Flexible Financing

Complex dynamics are making it difficult for companies to move at pace to both source and finance increasing needs for data centers and power generation equipment. How are companies adapting in this fast-moving environment?

4. Brick-and-Mortar or eCommerce? The Retail Balancing Act

In the wake of the pandemic, many retailers dramatically shifted their focus to e-commerce. But finding the right balance of both brick-and-mortar stores and online presence will be crucial to success in the years ahead.
